AS YOU MEET WITH EACH OTHER THIS WEEK, CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS:
This week Basil shared about how we walk the walk of faith in the midst of the suffering this pandemic has brought on our world.
1. How has the pandemic affected your faith? How have you seen your faith challenged during this time?
2. We know from the story of Abraham that suffering has a way of strengthening our faith. The great sacrifice Abraham was willing to make of offering up his son cannot be disconnected from the way he learned to trust God's goodness through times of suffering. Has there been something in your life that God asked you to surrender to Him that was difficult for you to let go of? How did you handle it? Is there anything in your life right now that you’re having trouble surrendering to God?
3. What promises of God and portions of scripture have been helpful for you during seasons of doubt and suffering? When you have to do something difficult, where do you gather strength from?
